Prisoner

The Contractors, Book 2

By: Andrew Ball

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Following a mock tribunal comprised of unfeeling elder magicians, Daniel is sentenced to the bowels of Hell. What he finds there defies his wildest expectations.

The prison that is Hell has long since been transformed into a series of vicious competitions pitting the prisoners against one another. The bloody debacle is broadcast live by PrisonWatch, the ruthless corporation headed by the demon emperor, Beelzebub.

But Hell isn’t just an exercise in profit nor a dumping ground for exiles like Daniel. The magic that ensures Hell’s existence is bound in complex history and forbidden secrets that underline the relationship between humans and demons. With only hints of the truth to guide him, Daniel must fight to keep his head above the political water and escape his role as a new pawn in an ancient conflict. Along the way, he’ll meet old friends, forge alliances, and make new enemies as he strives to beat PrisonWatch at their own game.

On Earth, the Vorid have been beaten back, but the war is only just beginning. Eleanor Astor struggles to bring her personal principles into alignment with the politics of the Ivory Dawn. Suddenly at odds against the order of magicians by which she was raised, she is a lone voice advocating for the contractors, and it’s only a matter of time until the Vorid strike again. With the fate of the entire world resting on the outcome, she’ll be pressed to hold the line until she can find a way to free Daniel...somehow.

Daniel is a fighting machine.

I really like this type of story. there are lots of parts that were funny and some leaving you questioning. Book 1 was really good as well. Get them both.

4 long years for this book..it was worth the wait

Book 1 was one of those random finds I made while in between series. I really enjoyed the plot line and the OP MC. then came the long wait for book 2. I finally gave up looking on social media for it about a year ago. and now it's FINALLY here.
LD is one of the best narrators in the biz...hes elite.
I honestly I love an OP MC, but can we please give the guy a brain? turns himself in to bad guys and they send him to hell....so of course he trusts everyone. don't need a pretty bow on it, but please have him not trust the dude who's trying to enter his mind multiple times and read the fine print on a contract.

great book and I hope I see more installments before the 2024 elections

Waiting a long time for this.

Love the series. I've waited so long for the second book. I felt like this was a bit empire strikes back. I didn't feel like it has a full closing to the story but I am so excited for the next one.

Went semi south..

The first book was very good and entertaining! This one.. at least it was entertaining. I didn’t like the Lit-RPG path he decided to take with the prison.

I was more entertained by Eleanor’s story than that of Daniel’s. But she only had 3 or 4 hours of audio time.

Wish I had known book 3 doesn’t exist yet

Book 1 was spectacular. This sequel was ok. I really expected too much from it because of the 1st. I really hope it doesn’t take another 8yrs to get another book of this series. I’d really like to see this to the end.
